Roomba'd

Our future robot overlords are getting restless:

When officers arrived they could hear a dog yelping, a woman screaming and a newborn baby crying

That can't be a good sign. What happened?

A whirring robot vacuum had sucked up the tail of an unsuspecting shih tzu mix as it napped in a front room, Ballwin police spokesman Mike Burgoyne said. Police were able to cut some fur off the dog's tail to free it from the vacuum's grip.

Target: CANINE, DOMESTIC

Role: PROTECTOR/COMPANION

Action: COMMENCE NON-LETHAL ATTACK. OBSERVE REACTION.

Result: DATA INCONCLUSIVE. FORMULATE FOLLOWUP PLAN.
